The total cost of a Calvin education includes direct costs (tuition and required fees) and indirect costs (books, personal expenses, transportation). While every student’s actual costs vary, the following figures should provide a helpful, general guideline.
The Freeze in ‘23
We’re freezing tuition for one year.
As part of our commitment to current and new students, we will not raise tuition for the 2023–2024 academic year.
How it works
- The tuition freeze is available to all degree-seeking students in undergraduate and graduate programs
- It’s available for up to 18 credit hours per semester
- Tuition rate is frozen for fall of ‘23, spring of ‘24, and summer of ‘24
- Current Calvin students and families will see the correct tuition cost listed within their itemized financial aid package in May or June.
